digiLED Has Been Awarded Made In Britain Status For digiLED ZEUS, Its Intelligent Power-Saving Tool For Giant LED Screens

Invented in the UK by LED veteran and digiLED Head of Technical, Tom Mudd, digiLED ZEUS® is a globally patented energy and carbon-saving system for LED screens and more. It not only powers screens down so they use ZERO power when not in use, but also soft-starts these power-hungry machines at the touch of a button when it’s time to wake them up. A simple tool to solve a complex problem that significantly cuts the money wasted on power consumption and the needless carbon emissions that go with it.

The system is now live on more than 360+ installs worldwide, across stadia, arenas, immersive spaces, corporate sites and attractions.

Graham Burgess, Founder and CEO of digiLED, said: “digiLED is founded on Britain’s engineering roots. Plenty of people in this team have spent decades at the sharp end of bespoke big screen design and installation, long before LED screens were a thing. Now more than ever we should be celebrating innovations that come out of the UK, especially when they are being built by our own people at our global HQ in Dorking. This is an achievement I am incredibly proud of.

“Other companies in the LED screen sector are now trying to match what digiLED ZEUS® has been doing for some time. In practice they are about five years behind. There is more to it than switching power off. It is built to work on screens of any size, shape or application, stay reliable without stressing internal components over years of daily use, and comes with analytics, reporting and extra features for outdoor operation.”

Tom Mudd said: “It was always the plan to prototype digiLED ZEUS® in the UK, but why not manufacture here, too? When I came up with the idea in early 2020 it set the wheels in motion. Today I can walk onto the UK production line and see my idea coming together, in a place where I can keep a close eye on quality and the finished product. In digiLED HQ, Surrey, England, we build the single-way digiLED ZEUS® head-ends and the bespoke units for specific clients. The fact that these are not shipped in from China, adding freight and CO2, and that it’s helping people cut their screens’ impact on the planet, is the icing on the cake for me.”

Why digiLED ZEUS® is needed?

Overnight, most LED screens are left in a pseudo-standby, showing a black video or test pattern during downtime. In that state, they can still draw as much as 30% of their maximum power while doing nothing. Over the life of a screen, those wasted hours can add up to vast sums of money and tonnes of needless carbon emissions.

Huddersfield Town AFC used digiLED ZEUS® on their main in-stadium screen before the 2025 season.

“Anything we can do to look at energy usage has been top of the agenda. When we learned about digiLED ZEUS® as a technology, it was a game changer for us. ZEUS allows us to turn the screen off when we are not using it and not worry about turning it back on the next day. It is probably the single biggest energy-saving initiative we have at this football club.” - David Threlfall-Sykes, Chief Operating Officer

Based on today’s energy costs, the new main screen at Accu Stadium, powered down with digiLED ZEUS®, will save upwards of £125,000 in wasted energy over the next seven years, while cutting the stadium’s carbon emissions by 138 tonnes.
